A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes test criteria suitable for qualifi-cation of polyethylene saddle-fus

3、ed joints. These tests may beconducted by suppliers or users to qualify saddle-fused jointsin accordance with the requirements found in the Departmentof Transportation (DOT) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)Title 49, Part 192.283. At the discretion of the end user, thesetests may also be conducted b

This is not the only test that may be used to qualify saddlefusion joints per DOT regulations.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regard

The values given in parentheses are mathemati-cal conversion to SI units that are provided for informationonly and are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

12、ded to be joined. The surfacecontact area of the saddle portion of the fitting and thethickness of saddle portion shall be sufficient to meet thequalification requirements of this practice.4.4 Qualification tests shall be conducted on all saddlefittings with different base areas. Only the largest ou

17、de (TBT) Committee.15. Procedure5.1 General:5.1.1 Conduct each qualification test with the polyethylenesaddle fitting fused to a polyethylene pipe that has a maximumpressure rating equal to or greater than that for which the gasdistribution system is designed.NOTE 1It is recommended that the Generic

18、 Saddle Fusion JoiningProcedure, developed by PPI (TR-41/2002), be used for selected polyeth-ylene gas piping products. While other joining procedures can also beused, the use of this PPI procedure is intended to help DOT expedite thequalification of gas pipeline operators and add some uniformity to

19、 theindustry.5.1.2 Allow the saddle-fused joint to cool to room tempera-ture prior to testing.5.1.3 For each qualification test, tap the polyethylene pipewith the largest size hole used in the gas distribution system forthat fitting.5.1.4 Quantity of specimens to be tested in each testdescribed in t

20、his practice has been omitted due to the variedgoals of users of these tests. When these tests are utilized forqualification of a joining procedure (Part 192.283), a minimumof six specimens should be evaluated with each test type used.For qualification of a joiner (Part 192.285), a minimum of onespe

21、cimen should be evaluated for each test type used. Forqualification of the joint design by the manufacturer, as manytests as are needed may be run, but not less than six of each testtype.5.2 Sustained Pressure Test:5.2.1 The minimum length of unreinforced pipe on bothsides of any saddle fitting shal

22、l be equal to three times thediameter of the pipe, but in no case less than 12 in. (305 mm).Test multiple saddle fittings, if desired, on the same pipespecimen as long as they are separated by at least three pipediameters. Make all saddle-fused joints with the pipe at themaximum allowable operating

23、pressure of the gas distributionsystem. If tubing intended to be fused to the outlet of the saddlefitting has a higher SDR than the pipe, cap the saddle fittingoutlet and do not use the tubing.5.2.2 Test specimens for 1000 h using the equipment,procedures, and failure definition as specified in Test

24、 MethodD1598 at 23C (73F). Hold systems having a hydrostaticdesign basis of 1250 psi (8.6 MPa) at a hoop stress of 1320 psi(9.1 MPa) based on the actual pipe dimensions. Hold systemshaving a hydrostatic design basis of 1600 psi (11.0 MPa) at ahoop stress of 1600 psi (11.0 MPa) based on the actual pi

25、pedimensions.5.3 Impact Resistance Test:5.3.1 Center and fuse the saddle fitting on a piece ofunreinforced pipe that has a minimum length on both sides ofany saddle fitting equal to three times the diameter of the pipe,but in no case less than 12 in. (305 mm).5.3.1.1 Firmly secure the pipe so that m

26、ovement does notoccur during impact. Suggested methods of securing the pipeare shown in Fig. 1. Other methods for securing the pipe mayalso be used.5.3.2 Drop a weight in a vertical free-fall from a height of atleast 10 in. (250 mm). Position the weight so that it strikes thestack of the saddle fitt

27、ing 2 in. (50 mm) from the pipe. For largediameter saddle fittings, that is, 3-in. (76-mm) outlet or greater,socket or butt fuse a nipple (whose length is five times theoutside diameter) to the outlet and position the weight so thatit strikes the center of the nipple. Adjust the drop height orweight

28、, or both, until failure occurs in the specimen by eithertearing out the pipe wall, tearing the fitting, or bending thenipple at least 45 from the horizontal axis. Conduct impactevaluations on large diameter saddle fittings in two ways: (1)with the pipe parallel (axial) to the vertical path of the f

29、allingweight; and (2) with the pipe perpendicular (radial) to the pathof the falling weight. The fused joint made between the pipeand saddle fitting shall not fail when impacted with a forceFIG. 1 Suggested Methods of Securing Pipe AssemblyF905 04 (2011)2sufficient to break the body or other portion

30、 of the specimens.Tests of 500 ftlbf or higher impact with no failures shall beconsidered as “pass.”NOTE 2Specimens that appear to fail at the joint may actually betearing out the pipe wall. If the failure mode is questionable, the fittingsupplier should be consulted.6. Qualification Requirements6.1

31、 Qualification requirements are outlined in DOT CFRTitle 49, Part 192.283.7. Precision and Bias7.1 The impact test described in this practice is a nonstan-dard test. Reproducibility between test laboratories is notrequired because the end result of this test is qualitative (that is,a type of failure

32、 mode), not quantitative. A precision and biasstatement is, therefore, not required for this nonstandard test.8.
